Pismo Vacation: Day 2

Hannah woke up and her first request was to go down to the beach to look for sea shells. So the girls and Steven got dressed and headed down to the beach, before 7:00am! Hannah found a lot of great shells, including sand dollars not broken or chipped. She had fun rinsing them off and displaying then on our balcony. After getting breakfast and lounging about for a while, we headed out to go see the elephant seals, located about an hour up the coast. This particular stop is a place that Steven and I discoverd while on our honeymoon ten years ago. Through the years we've watched this place develop with fences, and walk ways, and a parking lot. Ten years ago it was simply pulling over to the side of the busy highway and walking down to the beach and walking admist these huge elephant seals. Looking back, that wasn't very smart. LOL. But it's always been a destination we go to every time we are up here on vacation or a getaway. Hannah and Rachel both loved seeing the seals, as did the cousins. There weren't many seals this time of year as most are out to sea. We have been here at the time of year where there are 400-500+ seals.
This afternoon, we spent some time on the sun deck, blowing bubbles. That was fun. And then after the cousins woke from their naps, all the girls rode their riding toys for a while, until we moved the party up to Gramma and Papa's room. Where the adults tried to play cards, and then ultimately struggled with getting four kids to sleep, so that we could continue to play cards.

Gramma had a few more suprises for the girls today, sunglasses, and a little purse with money for the vending machine, which they all loved!
